Romance Novel Discovery Platform With Mood and Trope Matching

A modern, niche book recommendation platform built specifically for romance novel enthusiasts. It helps readers discover books that match their exact preferences in mood, tropes, and heat levels - providing a fun, personalised discovery experience.

### Key Features

• Genre-Focused Discovery – 100% romance-focused; users can search by:
• Mood: Cozy & Comforting, Spicy & Steamy, Dark & Intense, Sweeping & Epic
• Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Fake Relationship, Forced Proximity, Friends to Lovers, Second Chance
• Heat Levels: Sweet/Warm, Hot, Scorching
• User Profiles – Readers can create simple profiles (no personalization required).
• Anonymous Reviews – Users can leave book reviews without revealing their identity, encouraging honest engagement.
• Subscription Monetization – Integrated with LemonSqueezy for: $5/month recurring subscription and $50 lifetime access option
• APIs Integrated – Uses Google Books API and OpenLibrary API for fetching book data and cover images.
• Built on Lovable – Entirely designed and deployed using Lovable’s no-code platform.
• Hosted on Vercel – Ensures fast, reliable global performance.
• Version-Controlled – Full codebase available on GitHub for transparency and scalability.

### Why It Stands Out

• Serves a dedicated, evergreen audience - romance readers form one of the most active online literary communities.
• Combines the simplicity of a recommendation engine with the social engagement of reader reviews.
• Fully functioning SaaS structure with working payment integrations, so you can start generating revenue immediately.
• Built for growth and affiliate expansion - easy to add affiliate links for digital book marketplaces or author partnerships.

### Technical Details

• Hosting: Vercel
• Payment Integration: LemonSqueezy (Stripe alternative for SaaS)
• APIs: Google Books & OpenLibrary
